I'm living in the beautiful land of Colorado for the summer, and i've
been eyeing some pretty nifty specimens nearby. Any reccomendations for
collecting? I was thinking air layering for a few of them, but i've
never tried it before and am soliciting advice. Also, anyone have any
reccomendations on what might transfer to a hotter climate, say, Texas?
I'll probably take the plants I want anyway, just to see if I can
manage it, but if you might point out some of the hardier plants that I
can concentrate on. I'm in the foothills of the Rockies, about 7800
feet above sea leve. Mostly pines and evergreens, interspersed with
birch. There's a plethoa o flitttle seedlings about, maybe two year old
plants that already have a good branch structure. I can post pictures
if nessacary, but what's a good rule for digging up a two-foot high
pine?
Anyway, anything anyone can reccomend for me would be much appreciated.
